What the creator captured
Mark Wiens was fascinated by the complex, labor-intensive process of making Omani halwa, which requires hours of continuous stirring in massive copper tubs. He particularly enjoyed the contrast of the sweet, silky dessert when paired with bitter Omani coffee. His most memorable moment was tasting the halwa while it was still hot and fresh directly from the factory floor.
